But just minutes into her set on Friday, Natasha was left struggling to remember the words to her popular hit, Pocket Full of Sunshine.
She started off strong but then appeared to forget the lyrics early on and then looked over to her band for support.
Natasha made an awkward face and began singing “ba ba ba” before she quickly pulled it together and carried on with the chorus.
Despite the slip-up, Natasha performed some a number of her other huge tracks including Unwritten.
The songstress looked sensational in a lace see-through bodysuit and a black longline jacket.
A string of famous musicians will also take to the stage over the next few days.
Tom Grennan, Katy B, Biffy Clyro, Nia Archives, The Wombats and a host of famous faces have joined the line-up for BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2025, kicking off the three-day music spectacular.
The British artist now lives in America with her husband Matt Robinson, 46, and their son Solomon, seven.
In 2023, The Sun exclusively told how the These Words songstress would return to her music roots after splitting with her record label.
She was the first to tell us: “I am always writing and working on new music.
“I asked to get out of my label deal because I felt pressure to write a certain type of music and I want to write music for the creativity and the fun. I am returning to my original love of music.
“You can view making music in so many ways.
“As a product, as content or as art. Being an artist is like being a chef. You love creating something special but then with success and demand, it can hurt your artistry or creativity.
“I want my music to mean something and say something and not just write music to have a hit single.”
Singing siblings
Meanwhile, fans recently realised that Natasha and popstar Daniel Bedingfield are related.
The revelation came after a TikTok clip of Natasha went viral.
She filmed herself in the back of a taxi asking the driver to “turn up” the music playing on the radio – which turned out to be her older brother Daniel’s slushy song If You’re Not The One.
He is two years older than his popstar sibling.
She told him: “This is my favourite song. Can you turn it up? That’s my brother, that’s my brother singing.”
The taxi driver appeared to ignore her, with Natasha telling the camera: “He can’t hear, he’s on his phone. If only he knew.”
He found fame in 2001 with his hit Gotta Get Thru This – and is soon set to make a music comeback.
He fronted a new tour back in April, 20 years after his hit tracks and departure from fame following a horror accident.
